There must be something in the air at the moment – I’ve received at least 4 calls in the past week from people in various stages of distress, overwhelm and anxiety about what they are doing with their life, what their real purpose is and why their job or business isn’t working as they imagined. The last question in each case was…‘can you help me feel better?’
In every case, I made a few simple suggestions that we can all employ when the need arises… we all have these moments, it’s what you do with them that counts!!
- Remember that ‘this too shall pass’ – but only if you do or be something different to what you have been doing or being!
- Get really clear about what you most truly desire… write down everything that’s important to you and what you want to do before you die. Look for the patterns and the things that make you go ‘zing’… then you can start to live your life meaningfully, rather than just getting through your days!
- Take a few deep breaths, sit quietly and ask whether this anxiety and overwhelm is really yours? How often do we ‘buy’ the second-hand opinions of those well-meaning friends and family we know and love, and accept these ideas as real when we may actually want to do something completely different? What if you returned all these ideas to these people, in kindness, and then started to ask questions about what you really would prefer to choose… would your life look different?
